Teens, Crime and the Community

This program effectively combines education and action in an effort to reduce teen victimization, while giving young people the opportunity to become actively involved in their community.

To continue the hands-on approach of crime prevention in Warwick Public Schools, TCC is just one of the Warwick Police Department’s educational programs that touches the lives of youth in a positive, proactive way.

Administered through the WYPAPC, the TCC Program is designed to provide a practical understanding of crime and crime prevention useful in the everyday lives of young people, while teaching them to be resources for one another and the community. In addition, TCC develops communication and problem-solving skills to help youth recognize dangerous peer pressure, identify its consequences, and respond appropriately.
